Cross-border trade has always been the lifeblood of DHL's business. Today, globalisation is helping drive growth.

DHL has been an innovator since pioneering the international air express industry in 1969. It now serves more than one million customers in more than 220 countries and territories. DHL handled 160 million shipments last year.

DHL runs the ninth-largest airline in the world, with a fleet of 251 aircraft operating 714 scheduled flights every day. Another 2335 flights daily are operated for DHL by commercial aircraft.

In international trade, DHL strives for excellence. Which is why, for 11 years now, the company has proudly sponsored the DHL Australian Exporter of the Year Award--a badge of honour for Australians at the leading edge of international trade.

DHL congratulates the finalists in this year's Australian Export Awards. They join an elite group of Australian achievers from nearly every facet of Australia's export sector.

DHL is proud to encourage excellence in export performance because DHL sees this as the best way to ensure Australia's share of tomorrow's world markets.
